Registered Dental Hygienist

Sweet Spot DentalCambridge, MA, US

Posted 5 days ago

Our small, independently owned practice is looking to connect with dental hygienists in the area who can join our as-needed coverage list. We're building relationships with talented hygienists we can call on for occasional days, and we'd love to meet you!

On the days you're with us, you'll conduct preliminary assessments, support the dentist during examinations, and perform thorough, gentle cleanings so every patient leaves feeling cared for. Many of our patients come to us with a history of dental anxiety, so a warm, patient, reassuring chairside manner matters more to us than almost anything else.

This is a great fit for someone who genuinely loves caring for people, values a supportive and organized environment, and appreciates the flexibility of choosing days that work for their schedule. If you take pride in educating patients and helping them feel at ease, we'd like the opportunity to get to know you.

Occasional days, flexible scheduling, and a friendly team that treats every person, patient, and colleague alike with real compassion. For the right person, there's always the possibility this grows into something more down the road.

Licensed dental hygienists in Massachusetts are encouraged to reach out. Apply today and let's connect.
